The best u-pick farms in Groningen

Groningen has the widest skies in the Netherlands. The high light, the seemingly endless arable fields, and the calm you find there make a farm visit here unlike anywhere else. You never sit in traffic, you always find parking without stress, and the farmer always has time to chat.

Samen op de tuin combines a rich flower farm (dahlias, zinnias, strawflowers, cornflowers) with a community growing approach — your picking is literally part of a larger story about food and shared land.

Stichting De Blije Bodem is for those who look for a socially engaged pick-your-own experience: vegetables, flowers, and herbs on a site that also functions as a care farm and educational garden.

Pluktuin Lageweg is the romantic option: cosmos, dahlias, sunflowers, and fennel in a rural setting south of Groningen city. The unusual pairing of cut flowers and fennel makes the offer genuinely original.

Klein Alma offers the most diverse vegetable range in the region: Chinese cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, and twenty-plus other varieties for the home cook who refuses to compromise on freshness.

’t Plukgeluk rounds off the list with an all-in-one approach: vegetables, fruit, flowers, and herbs on one site, for the visitor who prefers not to choose.

Tip: after your farm visit, drive into Groningen city center. The combination of a fresh market in town and a pick-your-own in the countryside makes a genuinely complete day out.
